Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6 and 6

Answer 2

Answer:

3 and 9 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let monthly consumption of tea be "x".

Then, x = 3x (Given monthly consumption of tea is three times that of coffee.)

So the Equation is, x+3x = 12 (you don't have to add the unit "kg").

That gives, 4x = 12

x = 3

3x = 3x3, that is 9.

(Remember to add the unit at the last.)

Have a Great Day Ahead :)
